it takes a certain amount of infrastructure and city services to support a large business/corporation. There's a cost to that. A lot of cities in this day and age can't afford to just eat that cost.

It can end up in several different ways.

Raytown wanted that WalMart so bad that they made unfortunate tax break concessions that are apparently unsustainable

WalMart tried to do the same thing to Liberty about 25 years ago, Liberty told them to F off, so WalMart moved out of town and into Kansas City(who was willing to give them what they wanted). That WalMart location near Liberty, but just across I35 in KCMO ended up creating an entirely new development area and the population of KCMO in that area exploded, leaving Liberty relatively behind.

Instead of Liberty growing from a town of 25k in the 90s to a town of 100k today(Like Lees Summit did) its still a town of ~40k or so, and the other half of that population growth is in Kansas City limits
